Royal Commission on the Status of Women in Canada

The Royal Commission on the Status of Women in Canada, established in 1967, was a government inquiry aimed at examining gender equality and women's issues across the country. It researched barriers women faced in employment, education, politics, and society, providing recommendations to promote equal opportunities and rights. The Commission played a key role in raising awareness about gender equality and influenced policy changes, advancing the position of women in Canada. Its work laid the groundwork for ongoing efforts toward gender justice and helped integrate women's perspectives into national policy discussions.
